Offshore wind energy is revitalizing American industries, creating thousands of jobs across the country in shipbuilding, steel manufacturing, port facilities, and more.
2024 has been a year of great progress for the U.S. offshore wind energy industry. South Fork Wind (NY) became the country’s first operational commercial wind farm, and the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project, Revolution Wind (CT and RI), and Vineyard Wind 1 (MA) projects are being installed on the East Coast. These projects, and the supply chain that supports them, have created thousands of jobs in communities stretching from America’s heartland to its coastlines, engaging every part of the offshore wind supply chain, from shipbuilding and steel manufacturing to port development and the construction trades.

Highlighting Innovation and Job Creation
To recognize the amazing work being done by American people nationwide, Oceantic Network kicked off our 2024 U.S. Offshore Wind Jobs Tour. Along the way, we’re collecting videos, photos, and interviews of people and projects, showcasing the ingenuity, hard work, and innovation of American companies supporting our nation’s economy and energy independence. The economic benefits and job creation alone are remarkable, and the success we’ve already seen is just the beginning for the energy industry of the future.
